18:52 The Mystery of the Ordinary in MoMA | |
This
exhibition is the first to focus exclusively on the breakthrough
Surrealist years of René Magritte, creator of some of the 20th century’s
most extraordinary images. Beginning in 1926, when Magritte first aimed
to create paintings that would, in his words, "challenge the real
world,” and concluding in 1938—a historically and biographically
significant moment just before the outbreak of World War II—the
exhibition traces central strategies and themes from the most inventive
and experimental period in the artist’s prolific career. Displacement,
transformation, metamorphosis, the "misnaming” of objects, and the
representation of visions seen in half-waking states are among
Magritte’s innovative image-making tactics during these essential years.
Bringing together some 80 paintings, collages, and objects, along with a
selection of photographs, periodicals, and early commercial work, this
exhibition offers fresh insight into Magritte’s identity as a modern
painter and Surrealist artist. Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926–1938 is
organized by The Museum of Modern Art, The Menil Collection, and The Art
Institute of Chicago. The exhibition at MoMA is organized by Anne
Umland, The Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Curator of Painting and
Sculpture, with Danielle Johnson, Curatorial Assistant, Department of
Painting and Sculpture. The exhibition travels to The Menil Collection,
Houston (February 14–June 1, 2014), and The Art Institute of Chicago
(June 29–October 12, 2014).
